Rowing Machines

This experiment is temporarily closed and will reopen before week 52.

In this experiment, you can challenge yourself and your body! How strong are you? Is it possible to improve your results? Can you row faster by using your body's position, strength, speed and stamina?

Challenge a friend in the rowing machines! Who is best at consuming calories? You can also try to determine how much work you have to do to burn of certain foods.

When you row, the rowing machines are affected by different parameters:

How hard you work

You create the power of the rowing movement using your torso, legs and arms.

Changes in your centre of gravity

Affects how efficiently you row. Try out different positions!

Surface friction

Here, friction is caused by the rail under the seat. If you were rowing on a lake, you would have to work against current and wind.
